"A Cheap Ticket to Happy Land Please...."

Hi BR
I think that's the perfect compromise, spend the vouchers on something lovely. I really, really want a kindle - you will have to let me know if its any good.
When I go on holiday for a week I take about 10 books, so would be perfect for me. Plus I love that no-one can tell if your reading a trashy novel or not lolLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Thanks for dropping by Woo! I'm so looking forward to getting mine - everyone I know who has one raves about it! I love buying books - but hate having books lying around after I have read them, so it seems like the perfect solution!!

I behaved!!!!
£80 is on it's way to BoS!! I also bought myself 3 tops, 3 pairs of leggings and 6 bras (which I was greatly in need of btw!)
New total for the month (drumroll please!)............. £440.98 + £80 = £520.98
I'm one happy bunny!

Hi BR
Well done for sending the £80 to BOS, glad you got some nice things with your vouchers.
Very well done on clearing over £500 this month xLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Thank you ladies!!
I'm really chuffed to have made such a large overpayment for the month! I doubt there will be much more for the month of June as money seems to have dried up a bit
I also just realised that this is a 5 week month! Not to mention I still need to buy bits and bobs for fathers day
23 days till payday!:eek:

Time is dragging! Just trying to get through each day without spending money -
Wish I could make overpayments just to break the weeks up a bit..............okay just sent £5.09, the loose change from my current account, to BoS! Not much but enough to keep the motivation flowing
monthly total paid off = £526.07
cc balance = £2142.09
Only 17 days to payday.........only!

Happy Fathers Day to all the Daddies!!!
OMG - money is becoming VERY tight this month! Can't wait till payday!!!
All fathers day presents bought and paid for with hardly anything to spare! Totally and utterly skint!
I do however have £80 left in the grocery pot to last the next two weeks so we won't starve which is a bonus! Another bonus is that BoS have credited my cc with £1.91 "Incorrect interest repaid" which has given me a teeny but unexpected op!
I have been a bit naughty and bought a groupon voucher for a 3D baby scan. It was offering a deal on a package that was normally £230 for only £99 - I couldn't resist as I've never had a scan like this before and it may be my last chance. So this is a bit of cash I'm going to be down next month, you can't have it all ways I guess!
Still determined to bash this debt on the head before baby comes! 20 weeks to go!!
